Re: What are the signs of an abused hamster?
Set up a bucket trap with bedding and food and some books to make stairs.
Hope you catch her soon.

Hi! My little one escaped today for the first time! Suddenly I saw his little face peeping at me from under my bed. I honestly thought I was going mad! Because he is only kept in this room and I'd just seen him I asked someone to help me get him. We had to lift up the beds because I didn't want to pull them in case we squashed him. So of course he ran under the other one! Anyway eventually I saw the corner he was in, and I'd put his wheel near by hoping he'd climb in, but I also grabbed couple of treats and put them in a little line leading from where he was to the ball. Once he came out to eat one I put the ball over the top of him and slid some cardboard underneath so I could easily scoop him up again. He wasn't best pleased though!
If you don't know where your hammy is, you could try leaving food in different rooms and then when you will be able to block off that room once any food is gone. Then you can leave his cage open in that room, with a way to get in

Re: What are the signs of an abused hamster?
Personally I'd rip the walls down where the heat vents are to find my ham. I would move heaven and earth and not stop till I'd done my very best.
I hope you find the little bugger soon. I'm sorry for what's happened and I hope your OK.

Our heavenly father,
Please guide Nancy's new hamster back to safety and ensure she remains in good health. She is still very young and has a lot to learn. Nancy is going through a rough patch and needs positive energy sent her way.
Amen

Re: What are the signs of an abused hamster?
Hope you find your hammy soon, I know it's such a stressful time pop some food around and flour on the floor if the hammy is moving around your room you should see little footprints
Zak so glad to hear everything is settling in well might be worth disconnecting the habitrails if the hamster is already skittish as they do tend to hide away when the have attachments, taming would probably be easier in just the detolf (ovc add them back on tamed) just an idea

Re: What are the signs of an abused hamster?
Thanks to all of you on this thread who prayed or even thought a request for me to recapture the hamster pup. Our prayers were heard and they were answered early this morning. Details are in a thread under Syrian Hamsters complete with a few photos of her and her name too. The thread is titled "God is still answering prayers".
Zak I now prayer your friend can understand how unsettled new Syrians can be and that they keep striving for their rescue to learn to trust and love them and they can enjoy being a servant to a sweet tame cuddly Hamster for years to come.
